Computer Science - Object Oriented Programming Using C++ - Discussion

Thanks for the clear explanation.

The data types like char, int, short long, float, and double are called scalar data types because they hold a single data item.

Whereas, data types like arrays, maps are compound as they contain multiple values.

A fundamental type such as int or double is a PREDEFINED Type and NOT USER DEFINED.

So,

A. Programmer-defined type :"NO" because programmer-defined meas user defined.

B. Complex type: "NO" because there is nothing complex in definition.

C. Nonscalar type: "NO" because nonscalar means Vector and vector means directions, which are not required while definition.

D. Scalar type: "YES" because we define values without direction. So this is answer.

Why it is scalar type?

What is meant by scalar type?

Can anyone say what is scaler type?
